Precautions for Vehicles Equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System
S7RS0B0000001
WARNING!
• The configuration of air bag system parts are as shown in the figure. When it is
necessary to service (remove, reinstall and
inspect) these parts, be sure to follow
procedures described in Air Bag System
section. Failure to follow proper
procedures could result in possible air bag
system activation, personal injury, damage
to parts or air bag system being unable to
activate when necessary.
• If the air bag system and another vehicle system both need repair, SUZUKI
recommends that the air bag system be
repaired first, to help avoid unintended air
bag system activation.
• Do not modify the steering wheel, dashboard, or any other air bag system
components. Modifications can adversely
affect air bag system performance and
lead to injury.
• If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93 °C (200 °F) (for
example, during a paint baking process),
remove the air bag system components
beforehand to avoid component damage
or unintended air bag system activation.

Diagnosis
• When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to follow “Diagnosis” in Air Bag System section.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacement.
• Never use electrical test equipment other than that specified.
WARNING!
Never attempt to measure the resistance of
the air bag (inflator) modules (driver,
passenger, side and curtain) and seat belt
pretensioners (driver and passenger). It is
very dangerous as the electric current from
the tester may deploy the air bag or activate
the pretensioner.

1. Air bag wire harness (in floor, main and instrument panel harness) 6. Driver air bag (inflator) module
2. Passenger air bag (inflator) module 7. Side air bag (inflator) module (if equipped)

Warning for Wheel (with tire) RemovalS7RS0B0000003
WARNING!
When removing any of these wheels installed
with wheel bolts, never remove all wheel
bolts at the same time. Leave at least 1 bolt
for each wheel as it is to prevent wheel from
dropping. When removing this remaining 1
bolt, hold wheel and tire so as not to allow
them to come off.

Warning for Handling Emergency Flat Tire
Repair Kit
S7RS0B0000004
WARNING!
If vehicle is equipped with Emergency Flat
Tire Repair Kit instead of spare tire, be sure
to observe “Precaution for Emergency Flat
Tire Repair Kit in Section 2D” when handling
Emergency Flat Tire Repair Kit and repairing
flat tire.
Otherwise, your health may be ruined or it
will be impossible to repair flat tire.

Precautions for Catalytic ConverterS7RS0B0000005
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use
only unleaded gasoline and be careful not to let a large
amount of unburned gasoline enter the converter or it
can be damaged.
• Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary, make it as short as possible, and do not open the
throttle.
• Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest possible time.
• Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g. starting the engine when the fuel tank is nearly
empty.)
Precautions for Installing Mobile
Communication Equipment
S7RS0B0000006
When installing mobile communication equipment such
as CB (Citizens-Band)-radi o or cellular-telephone, be
sure to observe the following precautions.
Failure to follow cautions may adversely affect electronic
control system.
• Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the vehicle’s electronic control unit.
• Keep the antenna feeder more than 20 cm (7.9 in.) away from electronic control unit and its wire
harnesses.
• Do not run the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
• Confirm that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
Precaution for CAN Communication SystemS7RS0B0000007
• The loose (1) in the wire harnesses twist of the CAN lines except around the connector (3) should be within
100 mm (3.9 in.). Refer to the wiring diagram for the
CAN lines discrimination. Excessively-loosed lines
may be influenced by the electric noise.
• Do not connect terminals of the CAN line using a bypass wire (1). Otherwise, the CAN line may be
influenced by the electric noise.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 00-13 Precautions:
Short Circuit Check (Wire Harness to Ground)1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disconnect connectors at bot h ends of the circuit to
be checked.
NOTE
If the circuit to be checked is connected to
other parts (1), disconnect all connectors of
those parts.
Otherwise, diagnosis will be misled.

3) Measure resistance between terminal at one end of circuit (“A-1” terminal in the figure) and body ground.
If continuity is indicated, it means that there is a short
to ground between terminals “A-1” and “C-1” of the
circuit. 4) Disconnect the connector included in circuit
(connector-B) and measure resistance between “A-
1” and body ground. If continuity is indicated, it
means that the circuit is shorted to the ground
between terminals “A-1” and “B-1”.
Intermittent and Poor Connection InspectionS7RS0B0006002
Most intermittent are caused by faulty electrical
connections or wiring, although a sticking relay or
solenoid can occasionally be at fault. When checking it
for proper connection, perfor m careful check of suspect
circuits for:
• Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully seated in the connector body (backed out).
• Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must be clean and free of any foreign material which could
impede proper terminal contact. However, cleaning
the terminal with a sand paper or the like is prohibited.
• Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper
terminal orientation with the component or mating
connector.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0A-3 General Information:
There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored
(striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color sy mbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”). The first symbo l represents the base color of the wire
(“GRN” in the figure) and the second symbol represents the color of the stripe (“YEL” in the figure).
Fasteners InformationS7RS0B0101004
Metric Fasteners
Most of the fasteners used for this vehicle are JIS-
defined and ISO-defined metric fasteners. When
replacing any fasteners, it is most important that
replacement fasteners be the correct diameter, thread
pitch and strength.
CAUTION!
Even when the nominal diameter (1) of thread
is the same, the thread pitch (2) or the width
across flats (3) may vary between ISO and
JIS. Refer to JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners
Comparison Table below for the difference.
Installing a mismatched bolt or nut will cause
damage to the thread.
Before installing, check the thread pitch for
correct matching and then tighten it by hand
temporarily. If it is tight, recheck the thread
pitch.

JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners Comparison Table Fastener Strength Identification
Most commonly used metric fastener strength property
classes are 4T, 6.8, 7T, 8.8 and radial line with the class
identification embossed on the head of each bolt. Some
metric nuts will be marked with punch, 6 or 8 mark
strength identification on the nut face. Figure shows the
different strength markings.
When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts
and nuts of the same strength or greater than the original
fasteners (the same number marking or higher). It is
likewise important to select replacement fasteners of the
correct diameter and thread
pitch. Correct replacement
bolts and nuts are available through the parts division.
Metric bolts: Identification class numbers or marks
correspond to bolt strength (increasing numbers
represent increasing strength).
